Chapter 316: Redemption Island (5)
Chapter 316: Redemption Island (5)
No one knew what the question card looked like. Visibility in the poisonous fog was already low, but even so, it couldn't stop all the players from rushing forward.
After all, if you lose the game, it's over.
Just as Xiao Huai was about to move forward, Chen Chong stopped him.
Chen Chong pointed to where he was going and said, "You won't find it if you keep going this way."
He turned his head and looked to the other side. "Over there, it will only take ten minutes to find it."
Xiao Huai didn't ask him why at all, and walked in the direction he said.
Chen Chong was able to determine danger through hexagrams and predict the world's future. The more skilled the hexagram master was, the more information he could get from the hexagrams.
The player with the injured leg kept looking at the expressions of the two of them, hurriedly injected himself with a tube of potion, and after the wound on his leg healed quickly, he caught up with the two of them.
Finally, he mustered up the courage to ask, "Hello, my name is Feng Wu. Thank you for taking me with you."
Xiao Huai's eyes fell on him.
Feng Wu looked pitiful when he just came over, without any sign of pretense.
Seeing that Xiao Huai ignored him, he lowered his head a little embarrassedly and fell into silence.
Less than five minutes after they walked over there, screams began to be heard one after another throughout the forest. They didn't sound like screams, but more like the cries of a person who had collapsed.
After the three of them walked quietly for nearly ten minutes, they indeed discovered something unusual.
Feng Wu looked up at a tall tree in surprise, "Really! It really exists!"
There was a card sandwiched among the black leaves high up, gleaming with golden light.
The tree was extremely tall, with intricate branches and leaves as sharp as blades. Its black surface seemed to absorb all light.
The question cards are cleverly sandwiched in, almost blending in with the surrounding environment.
If it weren't for the glow, you might not even be able to tell there was a card hidden in the tree.
"But it's too high." Feng Wu couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
Xiao Huai swept his sharp eyes over the tree. There was silence all around, and even the sound of the wind seemed particularly suppressed.
Chen Chong looked up at the tree. The safest way was to climb up and take the card down.
The tree trunk was not poisonous. "I'll go up." He whispered.
Feng Wu volunteered: "You two, how about I do it? I've been climbing trees fast since I was a child. You two can't get hurt. If I get into trouble, can you give me a hand?"
Chen Chong looked at Xiao Huai. Feng Wu was really weird.
From the moment he requested to join Xiao Huai's team, Chen Chong had already calculated his fortune, but the hexagram showed a blank.
Means there is no answer.
Chen Chong felt that she was not in good condition at the moment, and perhaps it was because of her personal condition that she could not see the hexagram.
Xiao Huai hardly hesitated. When Feng Wu finished asking this question, a faint smile flashed across his eyes, "Okay, then you try it."
Feng Wu was stunned for a moment, and he caught the faint smile in the corner of Xiao Huai's eyes.
There is an indescribable coolness.
Let's try this. Does it mean that he will climb a tree or meet with an accident?
However, Feng Wu didn't show any malicious intent at the moment. He thought he must be overthinking it, and immediately smiled and said, "I'll try it right away."
After saying that, he put his equipment in order, fastened the strap of his gas mask tighter, and started climbing the tree.
He cautiously walked around the tree trunk, looking for a path to climb.
He took every step carefully and observed every grain of the tree trunk.
As he gradually approached the higher place, he was getting farther and farther away from Xiao Huai and the others.
Chen Chong whispered, "Do you trust him?"
After hearing Chen Chong's question, Xiao Huai's mouth corners slightly raised. Because he was wearing a gas mask, only his eyes were exposed. When he smiled, his eyes brought a feeling that was both beautiful and deadly.
His eyes were cold and clear, as if he had seen through everything.
"Trust?" He chuckled softly, his eyes still fixed on Feng Wu. "How could I possibly trust a liar?"
Feng Wu continued to climb the tree in front, moving cautiously, but he did not notice the cold gaze behind him.
Chen Chong frowned slightly, and Xiao Huai seemed to know his doubts and looked at him sideways.
"My thigh was injured, but it just avoided a fatal spot. My legs are not very mobile, but I was able to survive the first round of chaos."
He looks ordinary, with a cannon fodder face, giving people a harmless feeling. But what is he actually thinking?
In the game, Xiao Huai doesn't trust anyone, and he always keeps something in reserve.
The reason why Xiao Huai didn't expose him was very simple.
Play the long game to catch the big fish.
It would be difficult for Feng Wu to have the courage to trick Xiao Huai alone, but what if Feng Wu was with other people?
That's not necessarily the case.
Xiao Huai was very curious about who here would want to trick him so much.
I am even more curious about how they will cheat.
Feng Wu got the question card and his eyes rolled.
If you want to gain their trust, let them get the first card. They may not be able to answer the question within five minutes anyway.
"Everyone! I got it, I got the question card!"
Feng Wu entered acting mode, excitedly and happily shouting to the people below.
The moment he finished speaking, the black leaves began to tremble faintly, as if they sensed his presence.
Suddenly, the black leaves suddenly tightened and swept towards Feng Wu like a sharp blade.
Feng Wu dodged sideways with agility and was not hurt at all.
He immediately realized that he seemed to need to be injured to be more convincing, so when the next leaf attacked.
He deliberately slowed down his dodging speed, and the black leaves shrank wildly like sharp blades, attacking him like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.
"Ah!" Feng Wu let out a scream as his arm was cut by the sharp leaves. The blood instantly dyed the tree trunk red.
Feng Wu lost his balance and fell from the tree in a panic.
Just before he was about to fall heavily, Xiao Huai took out a not-too-thick quilt and threw it on the ground.
Feng Wu's body fell right on the quilt, which slightly alleviated the impact, but it didn't have much effect.
He still fell heavily to the ground with a dull thud.
The quilt had little effect, and Feng Wu curled up on the ground in pain, closing his eyes tightly.
Xiao Huai looked at him indifferently, without any pity.
However, when Feng Wu opened his eyes, Xiao Huai instantly revealed a worried expression: "Are you okay? I was too slow to react just now and bought the wrong thing. I originally wanted to buy a cushion."
Feng Wu was slightly stunned.
What? Xiao Huai actually wanted to buy a cushion to help him. It turns out he is so kind.
Although the quilt is of little use, Xiao Huai's desire to help him is significant.
The corners of his mouth raised quickly, then immediately lowered.
It seems that his acting skills are pretty good, and he has gained a lot of trust by playing the victim.
That blow just now was not in vain.
